Try being 6'5 and skinny, if I do find a pair of waders that are long enough they are typically big enough for a family of 4.

if I was a wader manufacturer I would be worried about being named in the lawsuit when a short man drowned in a rice field.

Mack's Prairie Wings has a house brand wader called the Big Ditch that fits short guys. I'm the same size as you, cbump. I wear a size 8.
If brilliant men are roses then I'm just a field of daisies.

Don't let your ears hear what your eyes didn't see, and don't let your mouth say what your heart doesn't feel As much as I hate to admit it, I do like my truck

6'-2" 341 pounds--- believe me you don't have wader troubles like I had. Fortunately I am 305 pounds and counting down. Maybe this year I won't feel like I am stuffed in a sausage casing.

I think I found out why;
Short people
Short people got no reason Short people got no reason Short people got no reason To live
They got little hands Little eyes They walk around Tellin great big lies They got little noses And tiny little teeth They wear platform shoes On their nasty little feet
Well, I dont want no short people Dont want no short people Dont want no short people `round here
Short people are just the same As you and i (a fool such as I) All men are brothers Until the day they die (its a wonderful world)
Short people got nobody Short people got nobody Short people got nobody To love
They got little baby legs That stand so low You got to pick em up Just to say hello They got little cars That go beep, beep, beep They got little voices Goin peep, peep, peep They got grubby little fingers And dirty little minds Theyre gonna get you every time Well, I dont want no short people Dont want no short people Dont want no short people round here

Buy you some Lacrosse Alpha's, you won"t care how bunched they are, they are cut right and they are comfortable. Cabela's has the new Women's waders: Cabela's Cazadora Waders

I'm 5'6" too. My waders bunch around the ankles. The crotch sags too. Just leaves more room for the boys to breathe.

My feets get cold because I buy the biggest Hodgeman stocking foots I can find, you could fit 5 of me in there but it's better having my feet crammed into one size too small instead of 4 sizes too small.

Reminds me of the last time I went wade fishing. Sisters new boyfriend was going. He asked "how deep do you wade". "About chest deep" I responded. He said "chest deep on you guys and I will need a snorkle".

He said "chest deep on you guys and I will need a snorkle". My father in law is a salty ol' dog from Galveston and used to wade in the bay a lot. Other guys would come out after him as ask him how the walk out was. "No problem, come on out." Half way there they were swimming and never found bottom - he's 6'9".   I'm 6'4" and chest waders are really upper stomach waders...

Practice doesn’t make perfect. Practice makes permanent.
